Summary

• The pink building is the Marriott Hotel. In the 1970s, the Marriott restored a palace that was originally built in the 1860s. That structure was used as the hotel lobby and two new towers were added to its sides. The bridge is named the 26th of July bridge and connects Central Cairo with the suburb of Zamalek. The black towers are a new trade center.
